Instruction – one to one, or for you and your friends
If you find fly casting to be hard work, or if you do not get a satisfying ‘sweet feel' from your casts, a little instruction should noticeably increase your enjoyment.
With me, you can have personal instruction (1 to 1, or with friends), usually near Cambridge,or a day course of instruction for beginners in an organised group.
Arrangements are flexible and can be made to suit you.
Sessions run from 1½ hours minimum. Usually I provide this instruction at a private casting ground near Cambridge. Tackle is available, without charge during instruction. If you have your own that is fine, after all what you have is what you want to be able to use well. Times can be arranged to suit you.
Part-day visits to fisheries can be arranged for instruction in a fishing situation. Tackle is charged at £5-00 hire for fishing sessions.
Please book with me using the contact form or simply telephone (01223 245 886) to talk over what will suit you best. |
